Earlier, as the sound of horse hooves sounded on the official road, a Fuyu hugged the horse's neck, almost pressing his body against the horse's back, ignoring that the horse was already covered in sweat.
He was even frothing at the mouth, but he still urged the war horse forward, forward.
Bearing feathers means carrying two long feathers on the back.
There are several modes of messengers. One is a point-to-point ordinary order, holding a small flag.
The other type is to run around to deliver orders, usually holding a medium flag or carrying a flag.
Fuyu, for example, is responsible for emergency military situations or emergency dispatch and dispatching orders on the battlefield.
As for Ye Bu Sheng, such a shameful title, it was not until the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to negative feathers, there were also negative seals in the Han Dynasty. That is, a square wooden seal was carried behind the back to represent the identity of the junior commander to identify one's identity.
Under Fei Qian, basically all have now been changed to colored silk ribbons, and there are color distinctions on the armor scales. However, for the soldiers in Sichuan, Shu and Hanzhong, many of them still follow the Han Dynasty habits and have not completely changed.
come over.
In order to prevent someone from not being seen due to poor visibility when running at night, half of the negative feathers responsible for delivering emergency orders would also hang a copper bell around the horse's neck, and when it ran, it would jingle. In this way, no matter it was
Anyone can immediately know that the military situation is urgent and get out of the way.
With the development of Hanzhong and Sichuan by Fei Qian, whether it is from Sichuan and Shu to Hanzhong or from Hanzhong to Chang'an, after a long period of blasting mountains to open the road, the walking is much easier than before, and it is half way
Above, about two hundred miles apart, relay stations were built specifically to serve the military...
When the tinkling of copper bells and the sound of horse hooves came from the official road, the soldiers on duty at the transfer station were already alerted. They ordered two more torches to be lit for illumination, and at the same time they were ordered to go up to the watchtower to conduct
Wait and see.
In the blink of an eye, Fu Yu arrived at the relay station, almost flew off the horse, and roared hoarsely: "Water! Horse!" He staggered twice, if the relay station's post soldiers hadn't stepped forward to hug him,
It almost gnaws its head to the ground.
"Hurry up! Water! Ergouzi, saddle up the horse in the backyard and bring it over!" the leader of the post station shouted loudly.
Although there is a rush of 300 miles and a rush of 600 miles, it does not mean that the messenger ran to death in one breath without changing horses. But it is true that he did not rest, so he drank some water and ate half a piece of cake.
Afterwards, when he saw the new war horse being brought in, Fu Yu immediately struggled to get up, threw the remaining half of the pancake in his hand to the postman aside, got on the war horse, and immediately continued to run forward.
.
"Ah... this..." The young postman looked at the half piece of cake and water bag in his hand, then looked at Fu Yu who had gone away, and then turned to look at the team leader.
The leader of the team stood and watched Fu Yu go away. He turned around and saw the stupid young postman. He shouted, turned around and left, "It's an advantage for you...keep it..."
"This...why don't you bring it with you..." the young postman said stupidly. For him, this piece of fine bread was something he was reluctant to throw away. Naturally, it was impossible for him to understand why Fu Yu
It’s just the act of eating a little and then throwing it away.
"You are new here, so you don't know..." the veteran on the side explained, "If you can't take it with you, on this journey, you can go to the ground when changing horses, eat and drink, and leave when the horses arrive! Otherwise, it is against military law.
, I’m going to lose my head!”
"Ah?" the new postman asked, "You don't even get off your horse? What should you do with your urine?"
"What do you think? It seems that I couldn't bear to eat at the inn, so I took a few more bites here..." The veteran laughed twice, then stopped laughing, and looked to the south with some worry, where the negative feather running figure was.
Direction of coming, "I just don't know, what's going on? Oh, are you really not living a peaceful life?"
Most young people are not afraid of big things, no excitement or joy, while older people basically just want peace and stability. Life is so strange.
……~~~~?(?)?……
Naturally, Fei Qian was not like Lao Cao, who first decided to make friends with other people's wives by seeing how they were doing. Instead, if he could use women as officials, he would almost double the scope of Nashi!
And imagine, originally men were still deciding whether to do it or not. Now if a woman grabs an official position first, she will inevitably have to face the situation of a female boss, and there may even be a tiger's roar at home:
"You old coward and young coward, I'll do it myself!"
Isn’t it fun?
Fei Qian laughed a few times, and finally added when Pang Tong's eyes widened more and more, "There is another third... In fact, it is also the same as what Shi Yuan just said, it is 'sir',
But this 'heir' is not a son, but an heir! If a woman can also be an official, then with the grace, there will be twice as many heirs! Hehehe... when the time comes..."
"Excuse the order!" Pang Tong almost jumped up and said with sudden realization, "This is a strategy of using yin to transform yang! It turns out that this is where the lord's intention lies!"
If only men can be officials, then over time, only men will have the right to inherit. But if women can also be officials, this right of inheritance will be interesting...
The so-called hundred secrets are also sparse. Although Pang Tong is said to be outstanding in intelligence, there are times when he falls down, so when Fei Qian said his true purpose, Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh, and then his fat body trembled.
shake.
This move is a bit cruel.
Nowadays, Fei Qianbei, Guanzhong, and Longyou areas, and even parts of Hedong, Hanzhong, and Heluo, adopt the system of military titles, which is almost similar to the order of grace. If they cannot continue to obtain military titles, then one generation after another will lose military titles.
It will transform from low-tax lord land to high-tax private land...
At the same time, this is also a move that is almost equivalent to tying these yeoman farmers to the Feiqian chariot. In order to ensure the inconvenience of having land, at least one yeoman farmer family must serve. If there is a leader after going to the battlefield,
If you perform meritorious service, you will be awarded a military title. Of course, if you die unfortunately, the proportion of the title and land will also be increased under the pension.
If you have better luck, you can make outstanding achievements in battle, and you can even use your meritorious deeds to transfer fields to your family, so that your family can live a better life. So basically, these farmers in the military fields are closely related to Fei Qian, and they are connected to each other.
at.
However, it should also be noted that because the historical legacy conditions vary from place to place, in some areas where there are many unclaimed lands that were abandoned due to wars, it is dominated by homesteaders under the feudal land system, and things like
In areas such as Hedong, Heluo, and Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Shu, there were still powerful gentry in many places. Although they reluctantly accepted the jue land system due to the situation, there may not be any recurrence in the future.
If I can't beat him now, I have to pinch my nose and admit it. In the future, it will be more or less a hidden danger...
Moreover, these powerful nobles also had some adaptable strategies, such as letting more children from the family branches go into battle, or serving as local officials, so that they could obtain a part of the land share, and they would not lose much in the end.
The female official system that Fei Qian is planning to implement now is aimed at the powerful nobles in these places...
The power of the princes and kings left over from Liu Bang, a half-empty gangster, became increasingly powerful and gradually became less controlled by the central government. Therefore, the essence of the Tuen Order was a measure introduced by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to control the princes and kings.
On the surface, Feiqian's female official system seems to give women more opportunities and room for advancement. In fact, it is essentially to better restrict the big landowner class.
Before there was no order of favor, there was only one successor to the princes and kings, which was the eldest son. If the eldest son unfortunately passed away, then he would be the second son. No matter what, there could only be one successor.
After the favor order was issued, the princes and kings in various places were divided into several kingdoms. The descendants of the princes and kings shared the land in turn until the land was exhausted. Those with a large land and few descendants would have a false title of country, and they would be divided after their descendants were born. In
Before the Han Dynasty, the area under the jurisdiction of the princes in various places was only inherited by the eldest son. Under the Tuien Order, it became the eldest son, second son, and third son to inherit jointly.
Therefore, naturally the divisions become smaller and smaller.
As a result, for example, after Liu Bei, the majestic Prince Jing of Zhongshan, when he grew up, the only thing he could be praised for was a crooked-neck tree...
However, the order of favor is only aimed at the princes and kings, and is not used for powerful nobles. Fei Qian's strategy of appointing female officials is almost equivalent to the "order of favor" aimed at the powerful nobles...
If women can be officials, it almost means that women have the right to inherit. At the same time, it also avoids the bad behavior of gentry families who are exterminated.
Normally, in a marriage where both parties are well matched and have similar status, if a woman has no room for advancement, then no matter how much dowry is given as her capital, the woman will still be at a low level in her husband's family and has to serve the elder and the middle class.
She has to serve her husband, take care of her children, and being a mother-in-law for many years is not just talk.
Because there is no room for advancement, even if the parents deliberately want to give the inheritance rights, it is useless. Some other elders in the family will still marry the woman off, and then the family property left by her parents can be divided.
Women have the right to be officials, and with such space, the form will naturally be completely different. Many capable women do not have to be completely dependent on men, and they have the right to speak, which subverts the original inheritance of inheritance rights.
The gentry heir structure system in which men do not pass on women...
Invisibly, the successors of the large landowning class like the gentry will be like the princes and kings, from having only one successor to multiple successors. For several generations, if there is no outstanding person in the family from generation to generation.
To prop up the facade, the rate of decline will naturally be accelerated a lot.
"But this way..." Pang Tong thought for a moment and said, "There are also disadvantages..."
Fei Qian nodded and said: "Yes, there are indeed disadvantages... However, everything in the world is like this, the sun and the moon have clouds and sunshine, and people also have their strengths and weaknesses... As long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it is feasible... not to mention the world.
If it is big, there will be more positions and more officials will be needed..."
In addition to what Pang Tong said before, that it is difficult for women to manage politics when they are pregnant and giving birth, there are also issues such as women's unique personalities, which are not suitable for all positions, etc.
There are also various troublesome matters such as how to make adjustments at the beginning, and even how to arrange...
Taken together, even though there are disadvantages to promoting female officials, the overall benefits are obviously greater in both the medium and long term.
Just like the system of nobility and land, the system of military merit and military honors, don’t they have any drawbacks?
Same thing.
However, the transformation of land from dispersion to concentration eventually led to social unrest, causing the whole of China to fall into cycles of stability, then chaos, and then stability again, which is not conducive to the lasting development of Chinese civilization...
What's more, judging from the experience gained from later civilizations, it is normal for women to serve as officials. Female wisdom is also part of Chinese wisdom, why should it be suppressed? Why not Confucianism has not yet formed an absolute view of women
How about releasing this shackles before being imprisoned?
Just like the old saying, when there is no other way, the only suggestion is the best way.
For Pang Tong, he, Xu Shu and others were the first to realize the disadvantages caused by land annexation and gentry monopoly. However, for Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, they could not think of a better way to reform and evolve, and Fei Qian
It is nothing more than standing on the shoulders of future generations and proposing some measures and methods...
Pang Tong was silent for a while and nodded, basically agreeing. However, how to proceed next still requires further discussion.
This was also expected by Fei Qian. After all, it is still the Han Dynasty, and it would not be difficult for people like Pang Tong to accept the improved system of female officials. If it goes on later, especially after the Tang Dynasty, it will not be so difficult
That’s easy to say…
……-=?=?(′Д`)?……
Just as Fei Qian and Pang Tong were talking, Fu Yu had already rushed in and headed for the Hussar General's Mansion!
Under the rapid sound of horse hooves and the sound of bells, passers-by took cover one after another. Even the guards in front of the Jiangjunfu Square moved out of the way, allowing them to run directly into the front square.
However, Fu Yu did not dare to go straight to the central gate of the General's Mansion. When he reached the stone steps in front of the door, he jumped off his horse and almost hit the bluestone board. However, he still did not dare to rest. He just panted and quickly tied the straps to his chest.
Take off the cloth bag and hold it high!
"Take it over!"
The leading guard in front of the General's Mansion came out, stepped forward to take it, and then ordered his subordinates to place the extremely tired Fu Yu in the gatehouse to rest, while calling a few colleagues to prepare for Qinglong Temple.
If it were an ordinary official document, it would be fine. The worst case scenario would be to leave it in the government office until Fei Qian comes back to read it. However, sending out negative feathers to convey military information must be something serious. The commander of the guards in front of the government did not dare to delay at all. He immediately relayed the message and rode on
The war horses galloped towards Qinglong Temple!
Along the way, naturally no one dared to stop them, but they also attracted the attention of many people, who started whispering while trying to avoid them...
When Huang Xu heard the chaos outside, he couldn't help but frown. He turned around and came out to take a look. He saw the guards in front of the house escorting the military information. His heart skipped a beat and he took the military information without saying a word and delivered it to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian opened the package, first checked the fire seal, and then looked at the secret mark on the bottom of the label. After confirming that no one had tampered with the bamboo tube, he broke open the fire paint, took out the brocade silk and looked at it, and then looked up and down a few times. He couldn't help but feel that
